- [Interviewer] So I'm with Blaire Bradford,

founder of the Virtuous Student Society,

which has helped thousands across the nation

with charities and outreach initiatives.

Blaire, talk about the VSS.

What was the inspiration?

- [Blaire] I started the Virtuous Student Society

my freshman year of college.

Inspired by my incredible father,

I wanted to know what makes a person good?

After my interviews went viral,

Northwood University approached me

about creating an entire society around my mission.

Thanks to them, believers in the VSS

receive a full-ride scholarship to Northwood University.

We are so thankful for their continued support.

If you want to be part of an organization

to help make change in the world, please join.

(ominous music)

(music stops)

- [Hudson] Jane, you there? Jane?

- [Jane] Not right now.

- You about ready to go?

- Why? I'm not getting any better.

- I, I know physical therapy sucks,

but you can't give up on this.

- Track was all I had, Hudson.

- All right, yeah.

- What's that?

- Uh, it's ...

Dear Hudson Earnest.

You are formally invited to the Nightmare on 13th

this evening for the Virtuous Student Society's

post-inauguration party.

- The inauguration?

That was today, and I missed it.

- It's okay.

- No it's not.

I know how important the society is to you,

and you get promoted and I can't even

get outta bed to go support you.

I'm the worst.

- Don't say that. It's not true.

- Yes it is.

After the accident,

I can't do anything.

- We're not doing this.

You have 30 minutes.

We're going to therapy.

- I already told you. There's no point.

- You really won't do it for yourself, huh?

All right then, do it for me.

- That's low.

- Desperate times. You know you love me.

- Ugh.

(soft music)

- Just a little further, Jane.

- I can't.

(upbeat music)

You okay?

- I'm fine.

- Good.

- It's no use, Hudson. This isn't working.

- It will. You just have to want it.

- This is my whole future. How much more can I want it?

- Then you need to start believing you deserve it.

Come on. Let's try again.

- Oh, I know. But you know how Taylee can be.

- That's true.

Where is she, by the way?

- I thought she was with you.

- Shopping. - Shopping.

- You got a plan to deal with that?

- Uh, yeah. It's called you.

- Oh really? You sure you won't get sick of me?

- Impossible.

You're one of a kind, Candice.

What was that for?

- Your athletics fundraiser just reached its $50,000 mark.

You are the most amazing financial manager,

- Don't you forget it.

(birds singing)

- I'm gonna go keep playing.

- I have a present for you.

Happy birthday.

- It's not my birthday.

- Merry Christmas?

- In three months. - Just open it.

- Surprise.

Just try it on.

- Tay, you've gotta stop spending money on me.

- Well I saw you eyeing it in the store.

What's the point of having money

if I can't spend it on the people who deserve it?

- The girls in my youth group are gonna be obsessed.

- What are best friends for?

Oh, did you see Blaire's invitations, the black and red?

They were so ugly.

We're the Virtuous Student Society, not Hell's Angels.

Oh, he's so good.

- Yeah.

- Which one was that again?

- [Blaire] The one you won't do.

- [Harper] And here we have my roommate

and president of the VSS, Blaire Bradford,

and Vice President Winter Reed.

They are in the middle of a deep discussion

about tonight's inauguration party.

- [Blaire] On behalf of the entire Virtuous Student Society,

I wanna thank you guys for your support

and for joining us on our journey.

- My turn.

What's up, you guys? It's Winter here.

So, where are my people from "Journals of an Alcoholic"?

Nice!

Okay, cool, so where we at last time?

- Harper, you can't just start filming us without warning.

We were in the middle of a meeting.

- [Harper] I know, I just thought the fans

would wanna see some behind-the-scenes footage.

- I get it, and I appreciate all the support you give us

and everything you do for social media, but

Harper, you're my best friend.

You don't have to prove yourself to me.

- Apparently, I do.

Winter.

You promoted Winter over me?

- The society needed Winter to help grow our reach.

You've seen how our followers have increased

since I made him vice president.

- Sure, but

Winter doesn't do anything for the VSS.

I understand that he overcame alcoholism,

and that is huge.

But, he only cares about himself.

I, serve the community. I work for charity.

- You're amazing, Harper.

And I know that.

It's just, the society's in a delicate spot right now.

We need real leaders if we're going to make a difference.

- So remember, spread the word because this society

is going places, and you're not gonna wanna miss out.

- Harper, wait.

- [Winter] Was it something I said?

- No.

This one's on me.

Let's be done for today.

- Yeah, probably for the best.

I gotta go get ready for the party tonight.

Oh, by the way, I saw you made some last-minute changes.

It's not like you.

- What are you talking about?

- Ah, big secrets.

All right, see you tonight?

(soft music)

- Harper?

(soft music)

- [Recording] Hey, you've reached Harper.

Sorry I missed you. Leave a message at the beep.

(soft mysterious music)

(doorknob jiggling)

(upbeat music)

♪ Will you miss me when I'm gone? ♪

(upbeat music)

♪ Will you still think of me, do you know at all? ♪

- Hey.

Thanks for, uh, bailing me out

again.

- You're buying.

- Yeah right.

(engine starting)

♪ You don't know me, do you know? ♪

- I know you're trying to save the world and all,

but that doesn't mean you need to become

a regular at the county jail.

- Well, actually, it's one of the prereqs.

- Oh yeah?

- Mm-hm.

Can't become a Level Three world saver without it.

- Who was it this time?

- Uh, Beauty Wave Cosmetics.

- Milo!

- They were testing their poisons on helpless animals.

- That doesn't give you the right to ...

What did you do?

- Jailbreak (laughs).

- You're kidding.

All of them?

- You shoulda seen them.

- [Amy Lee] You're ridiculous.

- No, I'm passionate.

- [Amy Lee] That too.

- It's just like you're schoolwork.

- That's different.

If I do things right, I'm set.

- It's not all about the money, Amy Lee.

- I know.

I just don't want my kids, to grow up the way I did.

I want them to have everything I never could.

- Your childhood wasn't that bad.

You met me.

- I just don't wanna be poor anymore, Milo.

- Hey.

You placed in the 95th percentile on your SAT.

You have a full-ride scholarship to Northwood University.

Poverty, poverty's not in the cards for you.

- Still.

Oh.

Here.

- Did Blaire make these?

- [Amy Lee] Who else?

- Just, bit edgy for her, that's all.

So, what's this new kid's name again?

Harvey? Hank?

- Hudson. Hudson Earnest.

- Right.

He's the kid who started that whole

intentional driving movement.

- That's the one.

- Cool.

Hope he's not a conservative.

- Milo!

(soft mysterious music)

(crows cawing)

(soft mysterious music)

(soft mysterious music continues)

(thunder rumbling)

- Oh, hey, Hudson!

Should we get a VSS photo?

- Sure. - Okay.

- Harper, will you take it for us?

- Yeah, of course.

- I feel like it's just looking at me!

- Move back.

- [Harper] Okay, one, two, three.

You look really great.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Yo, new guy.

- Hi, um?

- Winter Reed.

Vice president. "Journals of an Alcoholic"?

- Right, right.

Pretty creepy place for a party.

- Yeah, don't look at me. Blaire planned this one.

- Yeah, where is our fearless leader anyway?

- Welcome, everyone.

- Blaire? How'd you do that?

- Blaire is unavailable. You may call me Wrath.

I will be your host for the evening.

- Wrath? Come on.

Don't tell me this is some stupid role-playing game.

Blaire, where's the party?

- [Wrath] I'm afraid I've had to cancel your party.

Allow me to explain.

You are here to answer for the vices and sins

you profess to fight against.

- Sins? This is the Virtuous Student Society.

We haven't done anything.

- Each of you holds a secret

that could ruin your life as you know it.

And I happen to have proof of them all.

- What do you want?

- I have designed this house to test your ability

to overcome the source of these transgressions.

Fail to do so, and I will release your secret to the world.

- You're bluffing.

If you actually had anything on us,

why not just release it?

- Mercy, Amy Lee.

I'm giving each of you a chance to prove me wrong.

And I want the world to see it all.

I have hacked into all of Blaire Bradford's

social media accounts and her 3.5 million followers.

If you wish to keep your sins a secret from them,

you must overcome my seven trials of fate

scattered throughout the Nightmare on 13th before midnight.

The loser of each trial will have their corruption revealed.

In the end, there can be only one winner.

- Look, I don't know about the rest of you guys,

but I got nothing to hide.

- You're welcome to leave at any time.

- Hey, what gives?

- However, should you wish to leave you must first look

into the eyes of God and confess your sins.

Then shall the way be open to you.

- What?

- He's talking about the cameras.

Either we confess our secrets or he will.

- [Wrath] If you will not confess,

then the only other way out is to play my little game.

Your first trial is to make it to the Institute of Terror

before five minutes has passed.

There you will receive further instructions.

Good luck, and remember, we'll all be watching.

(clock ticking)

- What do we do now?

- Duh. We play!

- This isn't a game, Tay!

He's serious.

You guys got secrets, like he says?

That's what I thought.

- Okay, so we call the cops.

- Yeah, and tell them what?

Our lives'll be ruined before they can do anything about it.

- Oh yeah, you seem very familiar

with the blackmail process, Milo.

- What are you looking at?

- The camera.

I think the red light means that it's livestreaming.

And when it's off, that means it can't

see us on the stream, right?

- I wonder how he's tapping into their feed.

It has to be hardware, right?

With how old that model is.

- I mean, not necessarily. It depends on the setup.

- Will you guys focus?

We are not here to admire the work of a psychopath!

- Hey, breathe, breathe. It's gonna be fine.

We just have to, play along.

For now.

- Uh, no way. I'm not giving in to this guy.

- Okay, fine, you can stay here.

The rest of us have four minutes

to find the Institute of Terror.

- Ooh, can I lead?

- Sure, we just need to go.

- Yeah, okay. - Go, go, go.

(soft mysterious music)

- What's it gonna be, new guy?

(soft mysterious music)

- Sorry, I have to play.

- Whatever.

(clock ticking)

(soft mysterious music)

(players breathing hard)

- It's this way, go, go!

- Guys!

What's the hell's that? Hurry!

Hurry!

Watch it!

(players panicking)

(clock ticking)

(suspenseful music)

- [Taylee] Go, go!

(suspenseful music)

(Amy Lee shrieking)

(clock ticking)

(Wrath laughing)

- Winter Reed, vice president of the VSS.

For your unrestrained desires and your self-indulgence,

you are hereby condemned for the sin of gluttony.

- What? I thought you said we had till midnight.

- For those who played.

You claim sobriety,

inspire thousands to follow your example,

but do your fans know it's all a lie?

Your relapse was inevitable,

given the way you indulged in your fame,

your followers and your parties.

Yet you pretended you were still clean.

I condemn you for the sin of gluttony.

Let's see what your followers think of that.

(phone pinging repeatedly)

- No, no, no, no!

- [Wrath] Say hello to cancel culture.

(suspenseful music)

You are free to go.

Should anyone attempt to leave with Winter,

you will suffer the same fate as him.

The gates await you on the other side of the building.

(soft suspenseful music)

- So this isn't a game?

- I don't think so.

(phone ringing)

- Sorry.

I need to, take this.

Jane.

- Hudson, are you okay?

Wrath's not kidding. The whole thing's being livestreamed.

Who is he?

- [Hunter] I don't know.

- [Jane] Okay, the Nightmare on 13th. What is that?

- It's a haunted house by campus.

- Okay, we're gonna come get you.

- No, you can't.

- Why?

What'd you do, forget to return a library book?

You're not saying he actually has something on you?

- [Hudson] I have to play.

- Hudson, what did you do?

(soft piano music)

- I can't say.

- [Jane] Right, the cameras.

- Look, I need you to do something for me.

- [Jane] What?

- Did you notice anyone missing?

- Blaire?

- [Hudson] Exactly.

I need you to go to her apartment and figure out why.

- Me? What if she's Wrath?

- Don't go inside. Just look in the windows.

If we can link this toher, we can get the cops here.

- And what about Mom and Dad?

- [Hudson] I don't want them to know.

Besides, no one should know

you're working together with me on this.

- [Jane] And the 200,000 people watching?

Mom and Dad are gonna find out.

- That's why we have to nip this in the bud.

The viewers probably think this is just

an elaborate prank right now.

I don't wanna give any more validity to Wrath's claims.

- But,

I can't even drive.

I'm just gonna mess it up.

- [Hudson] Jane,

please.

(soft piano music)

- Okay, I'll try.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

But you owe me big time.

(soft music)

(suspenseful music on TV)

- Jane, you're up.

- You okay? Can we get you anything?

- I'm okay.

Uh, Hudson invited me to a party.

I was thinking I should go.

- Yeah, I'll get the car.

(soft mysterious music)

- What's going on?

- Taylee found this note.

- First cast off the beam out of thine own eye?

- I'm thinking it's talking about, like, a laser beam.

- Try plank of wood.

Matthew Seven, Verse Five.

It's from the Bible.

- You would know that.

- Hey, what's that supposed to mean.

- Ethan, calm down. It's just a joke.

She loves Jesus. So what?

- Just saying.

Whoever this Wrath character is

seems to know the Bible pretty well too.

Maybe they go to the same church.

Or, maybe ...

- What are you trying to say?

- It's obvious, isn't it?

Wrath has to be a member of the VSS.

How else would they know so much about all of us,

or why even target the society for that matter?

All I'm saying is it could be her?

- Well how do we know it's not you.

- Guys, stop it.

- Hey! Would you idiots use your brains?

Has anyone else noticed that Blaire

is conveniently not here?

If Wrath is a member of the society, my money's on Blaire.

- Kenzie can't be in two places at once.

- Prerecordings, accomplices, guaranteed whoever Wrath is

isn't working alone.

We shouldn't rule out anyone.

(crickets chirping)

- This doesn't look like Hudson's place.

- Oh it's not. It's Blaire's.

Hudson's meeting me inside.

- Okay, well, it's good to see

the dynamic duo back in action.

- Dad.

- What?

Before the accident, you guys were practically inseparable.

It was the perfect nickname. Came up with it myself.

But have fun.

- I will.

(crickets chirping)

Third floor?

That's not gonna work.

(crickets chirping)

(soft suspenseful music)

(knocking on door)

(crickets chirping)

Sorry, Hudson.

Hello?

Blaire?

(crickets chirping)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(Jane gasping)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(crow cawing)

(soft suspenseful music)

- You okay?

(soft suspenseful music)

We'll get through this.

- [Wrath] Congratulations on making it to the institute

and passing your first trial.

The first step to healing is admitting you have a problem.

You're all here for your diagnosis.

(dummy screaming)

(soft suspenseful music)

Harper Auburn, please report to Room One.

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

- We'll be right here.

- [Wrath] Milo Rasmussen, Room Two.

Amy Lee Fitzgerald, Room Three.

(soft suspenseful music)

Hudson Earnest, Room Four.

(soft suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music)

(Jane breathing hard)

- By now you've probably guessed that there's been

a slight change of plans for this evening.

I apologize, but the corruption

cannot be allowed to continue.

Left unchecked, the evils of your Virtuous Student Society

will spread like a cancer.

They must be exposed and eliminated, starting with you.

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Recording] Hey, this is Hudson Earnest.

Leave a message. I'll get back to you.

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(floorboards creaking)

(soft suspenseful music)

(floorboards creaking)

(door closing)

(dramatic crescendo)

- No!

(door slamming)

- Do you think they're all right?

- I hope so.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

(dummy screaming)

- [Wrath] The rest of you, report to the basement.

I have something special in mind for you three.

(soft suspenseful music)

Only the truth can set you free now.

The last one to answer their riddle correctly

will have their secret revealed.

(soft suspenseful music)

The wicked I am.

Nobody wants me, but those who never have me nobody trusts.

What am I?

Oh, and I'd try to hurry.

In 10 minutes, the doors will lock permanently

for all of you.

Good luck.

- [Milo] Hey, can anybody hear me?

- Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.

- Me too.

- Amy Lee, are you okay?

- I'm here.

- Amy Lee, when you get out, you need to try to find

a way to get the rest of us out too.

- Right.

Okay.

- [Milo] Hey, don't pressure her.

- What do you mean pressure?

She's one of the smartest students at Northwood.

She's gonna get out in no time.

There's a, there's a hole in the ceiling of my room.

I'm gonna see if I can reach it.

- [Wrath] Because of me, through him,

the world might be saved.

All except Caesar, whose life I took away.

What am I?

- Brutus killed Caesar.

Who saved the world through him?

Oh that's, that's Jesus!

Betrayal. You're betrayal!

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Hunter] Amy Lee, is that you?

- No, it's me. It's Harper.

- Oh, awesome. Um, can you try to get us out of here?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Ah!

(soft suspenseful music)

It's no use. I can't unlock it!

- [Hudson] Go get the others.

- Okay. Don't go anywhere.

- [Hudson] Where do you think we're going?

(Amy Lee crying)

- Milo!

- Amy Lee, I, I need you to breathe.

It's gonna be okay.

- You don't know that!

- [Milo] I do. I'm, I'm gonna get you out of this.

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Wrath] Yellow is the hue I wear,

a color that hints at the burden I bear.

With the heart of a chicken and lacking a spine,

I'm as timid as mice, but I'm often feline.

What am I?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Oh, I hate riddles.

(soft suspenseful music)

- It's no use. I can't reach it.

- A lion?

(timer buzzing)

Whoa, hey hey hey! Why did my time go down?

- [Wrath] The penalty for guessing incorrectly.

- Guys, don't guess unless you're sure.

Every wrong answer, we lose two minutes.

- [Wrath] Every human has a purpose

and a will to do something,

but I think the other way, making the sinner do nothing.

What am I?

(soft suspenseful music)

- I ...

I don't know.

I don't know.

- You behold the theme

within.

Guys, I think our riddles having something to do

with the sins that Wrath put us here for!

You're a coward.

The answer is, is a coward.

Amy Lee!

- Milo!

- Amy Lee!

(Milo groaning)

Come on!

- Think.

Where should I start?

Nobody wants me, but those who never have me,

nobody can trust?

(hammer banging)

- [Milo] I'm here, Amy!

(Amy Lee crying)

- It's no use!

- You want a confession?

I'll confess. Just let her go!

- [Wrath] There is no intercession for her sins.

Only she can deliver herself.

- This is all my fault.

- [Wrath] Five, four, three,

two, one.

- The answer is guilt!

(bell dinging)

(soft piano music)

- Amy Lee Fitzgerald, for your overreliance

on others and for choosing the easy way out,

you are hereby condemned for the sin of sloth.

- How?

She's a straight-A student.

She has a full ride for her SAT score.

- You cheated on your SATs

and are undeserving of your honors,

accolades and scholarship.

The school board and every student

on campus has been notified.

At midnight, you will be released.

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

- Leet speak all sound.

(phone ringing)

- Jane, now's not a good time.

- Blaire's dead.

- Blaire's dead? Seriously?

Are you okay?

- I'm fine. Any idea who'd want her dead?

- No, no. She was literally Northwood's pride and joy.

- Well, looks like Wrath had a serious

vendetta against the VSS.

Andy idea of what leet speak means?

- Leet speak?

No idea.

- It means a leet speech.

- A leet speech?

- Yeah, it means replacing letters with numbers and stuff.

- Leet speak all sound.

- Wh, where you going?

- After the others.

Wrath's gotta be one of them.

- What? No.

That, yeah, mm, he's gone.

Did you, did you catch that?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Okay, I mean.

Hudson, how well do you know Harper?

- Harper? Yeah, that's our bad guy.

Have you met her?

- She's not technically a leader in the VSS, right?

- No, no, she's applied a few times

but Blaire always rejected the application.

- I'm not saying she did it, but sounds like a motive to me.

Also, she has a detailed file on each of the VSS leaders.

- What? Why?

- You tell me.

There's nothing incriminating here, but

she's meeting someone at Sleepy Hollow any minute now.

She said she threatened to reveal their secret.

- No.

No, there's, there's no way.

- Who's she emailing?

- MakeupMenace@NO13.com.

- I don't recognize it.

- NO13. I think someone works for Nightmare on 13th.

That's how Wrath rented the space.

If I can get to the records,

then I can match up the name to an account.

- But the records would be here.

- Exactly. Looks like I'm coming to you.

- No. That, that's way too dangerous.

- I don't see any other option.

Wrath is watching your every move.

- Okay.

But how, how are you going to get in?

- I'll

figure it out.

With any luck, I'll see you soon.

- Be careful, okay?

- You too.

(Hunter sighing)

- Sleepy Hollow, let's go.

(soft suspenseful music)

All right, I'm here. Where are the girls?

- Welcome, Ethan, to the maze you have created.

When you indulge in wickedness,

you create a tangled web.

- Where are they?

- Inside the maze, of course, where I led them.

Only you can deliver them from their current predicament.

(soft suspenseful music)

Keep the stream close, for it will be your only way back.

- What are these supposed to be?

- Only one of them may leave with you.

You'll have to choose.

Handcuff yourself to the girl you love most,

and I will allow you both to leave the maze

without revealing your secrets.

But for the other, well, she won't be so lucky.

- What did Wrath mean by all that?

- I, I don't know.

- I'm not playing your sick game!

- Then they all remain trapped in the maze.

You have 10 minutes to save one,

or I'll reveal all of your secrets.

Enjoy.

(soft suspenseful music)

(door creaking and closing)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(floorboards creaking)

Did you bring them?

- They're all here.

- Give it to me.

- No.

I'm not letting you do this to them.

These are good people.

- Good people?

You've seen the corruption for yourself.

- But, look at the good they've done.

They don't deserve this.

(suspenseful music)

- Choose the girl you love most?

That's so unfair.

What's gonna happen to you?

This is so dumb.

You haven't even done anything bad.

You shouldn't even be here.

(soft suspenseful music)

(floorboards creaking)

(soft suspenseful music)

- McKenzie? Kenzie, where are you?

(soft suspenseful music)

McKenzie?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Why is he calling for you?

(soft suspenseful music)

- Are you and Ethan ...

Kenz?

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for it to happen.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing,

but things evolved into something real and ...

(soft suspenseful music)

And I think I love him.

- How dare you?

(hand slapping)

- Tay!

- Kenzie, come back here!

- There's still time to stop this.

But, if you won't

I will, if I have to.

(soft suspenseful music)

- Harper Auburn, for failing to be content

with your own accomplishments,

you are hereby condemned for the sin of envy.

- What?

(Harper gasping)

(suspenseful music)

- Kenzie!

(suspenseful music)

- Kenz. It's okay, you're okay.

- She knows. She knows about us.

- I know.

Wrath, Wrath says I have to choose.

I can only free one person.

- And you're here.

I didn't know. I didn't know if you would.

- Kenz.

You know I love you.

- You're choosing her?

- You deserve to hear it from me. I'm sorry.

- Why?

If you love me then--

- I do, I ju ...

Not the same way I love Taylee.

- Five minutes remaining.

- I'm sorry.

- Go.

Just, just go.

(soft suspenseful music)

- McKenzie Valentine, for allowing your passions

to overshadow your religious beliefs,

you are hereby condemned for the sin of lust.

The gates stand open for you,

if you can find your own way through the maze.

- What about Ethan?

- You were Northwood's most pure,

with an entire congregation seeking

to emulate your commitment, not Ethan.

But rest assured, he has more to answer for.

Consider yourself lucky.

(McKenzie crying)

(soft suspenseful music)

(Ethan groaning)

(Ethan groaning)

- McKenzie, you are so dead when I find you!

- Tay, it's me!

Later, we're running out of time!

- Don't touch me!

What are you doing?

- I'm trying to help.

Taylee, the string.

- Stop that!

- If we don't find that string, then he's outting us all.

It's our only way out.

- One minute left.

- Oh, got it, got it.

- Okay, let's go. Come on.

Come on!

(dramatic music)

Come on, hurry!

- It's a dead end.

- It's a door. Help me get it open.

(both groaning)

(dramatic music)

- Stay away from me!

- Taylee, I literally can't go anywhere!

(suspenseful music)

(Ethan breathing)

(door creaking)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Hudson, what have you done?

(Taylee gasping)

- I didn't do this.

The lights went out and then she ...

- Harper?

Is she?

- Dead. Wrath killed her.

- So you say.

- Well I didn't kill her.

- If you know something, Milo, just say it.

- All I know is, when I ran in,

Hudson was standing over Harper's body.

- I'm telling you, Wrath did this.

- I thought Blaire was Wrath.

Why would she kill her best friend?

- Blaire's dead too.

- If Blaire is dead, that means

that one of you is Wrath.

- How do you know that?

You could just be saying that to turn us against each other.

- I, I can't say, but you guys just have to trust me.

- Trust you? You killed Harper!

- I didn't kill Harper.

I thought she might be behind all this,

so I was following her.

- (scoffs) You thought Harper was Wrath?

- No, Harper wouldn't hurt a fly.

- You said the cameras are always recording,

even when they're not streaming, right?

- Yeah, what of it?

- That means that there's video evidence

of Wrath killing Harper.

The, the cops would have to intervene.

- Okay, then it's settled. We'll go find the footage.

But until then, I say we tie him up

so he doesn't try anything.

- You're not serious.

- It's not a bad plan.

- Guys,

come on.

- Hey!

He's getting away!

(dramatic music)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(indistinct banging)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

- What?

- Hello, Jane. I was hoping you would find your way here.

- Shut it down, Blaire, or I will.

- What gave me away?

- The email?

Same one that rented the space.

Head makeup artist.

I guess that explains the body.

- Oh, a fan of mine.

More than happy to let me work my magic on her.

- You're a monster.

- Why?

What have I done?

Exposed a few well-deserving sinners?

Think bigger, Jane.

The world is full of corrupt people

who just keep getting away with it.

- Hudson is a good person.

- He's as corrupt as the rest of them, Jane.

You know,

you remind me of myself.

- I am nothing like you.

- Listen to me, Jane!

I'm trying to give you the same gift that I was given.

You've been taken in by Hudson's lies

just like I was taken in by my father's.

My father

showed me how to be a good person.

Taught me the virtues that I should uphold

and expected that I would do so.

I idolized him.

Sound familiar?

The saddest part is,

I truly believed that he was that perfect example.

Upholding all the virtues.

Until I found my father with another woman.

It was just a mask.

Like everyone else.

Look closely enough and you can always find cracks.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(woman screaming)

(woman screaming)

(woman screaming)

If my father, best man I'd ever known, wasn't a good person,

then no one could be.

And they needed to be exposed.

We need to bring them to the light.

- So what, you decide who the corrupt ones are now

and dole out the punishment?

- Oh, I don't need to.

For a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,

neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

- So heel me down, not Hudson.

- Jane, you have done nothing wrong.

- I nearly killed someone.

The other driver is crippled for life because of me.

- What do you actually remember from that night?

- Bits and pieces.

I remember looking down to change the song.

- Your medical records say you suffered

from short-term amnesia.

Wouldn't you like to know the truth?

(footsteps pounding)

(soft suspenseful music)

(footsteps pounding)

- Okay, stop, stop!

It clearly is not working. We're running out of time!

- If you have any ideas, I'm all ears!

- As much as I enjoy watching the four of you

play cat and mouse, I have another trial for you.

Hidden somewhere in this house is a key to the exit.

Any of you may use the key instead of confessing your sins.

However, the key is for only one of you.

Using the key will eliminate one hour

from the remaining guests' time.

You don't have to use the key,

but will the others be as selfless?

- Hey!

- No, no no no, stop!

We are not going to outrun him. We need to go the other way.

Come on!

(soft suspenseful music)

- Jane, you made it.

You have no idea how glad I am to see you.

- Was it you?

- What are you talking about?

- Was, it, you?

- You know?

- How could you?

(Hudson sighing)

- I never meant to hurt anyone, especially not you.

I just wanted to fit in.

And I wasn't planning on driving.

♪ I feel alone, every day ♪

♪ I hate myself and that's okay ♪

♪ All I want and all I need ♪

♪ Another sleep ♪

- I'm gonna lose my voice.

- Jane!

- When I came to, I dragged you outta the crash

and I passed out, and I woke up at the hospital.

And they told me that you had short-term memory loss

and it might never come back to you,

and, and I overheard that ...

I overheard the doctors talk about you

crashing the car and

I just froze.

The alcohol wasn't a problem if I was just a passenger

and you were a just a minor.

The judges would go easy on you.

(soft piano music)

So I didn't say anything.

And I've hated myself ever since.

I'm so sorry, Jane.

- Don't!

You ruined my life, my future.

You let me walk around with this guilt for months!

I could have gone to jail!

You don't get to be sorry.

- I know.

Jane, where are you going?

- Home.

You deserve everything that's coming to you.

(Hudson breathing shakily)

- There's a chest back there with the tags.

- Obviously, there's nothing in that chest.

- I mean, you say obviously,

I didn't think it was that obvious.

- Whoa, I found it!

- Taylee!

- Okay.

- Give it, give it. Let me ...

- Do you even know how to unlock it?

- Yes, I can do it.

- Give it to me. Let me do it.

(soft suspenseful music)

- So now--

- Do not!

(key clicking)'

Oh.

(soft suspenseful music)

You're not gonna fight me for it?

- Take it.

I should do at least one thing right by you.

You deserve it.

(soft suspenseful music)

(footsteps padding)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Yeah.

- He won't let us leave, not until the game is over.

- Oh.

- Taylee Palmer, for failing to put others before yourself,

you are hereby condemned for the sin of greed.

- But you said anyone with this key would be free to leave.

- I said you wouldn't have to confess.

I never said I wouldn't condemn you for your choice.

- You tricked me.

- This all could have been avoided were you free from sin.

Instead, you are condemned as a penalty for your greed,

and as a result one hour has been taken

from the remaining time.

- That's not fair.

- Not fair?

As a financial advisor and accountant

at Giving Tree Charity, it was your job

to help the poor and needy.

But you skimmed off the top,

raided the books in your favor

and for what?

Clothes, jewelry, cars.

You stole from those in need

to purchase temporary pleasures.

You are the epitome of greed.

(suspenseful music)

Congratulations to those who remain.

You are my final guests.

But with only an hour left thanks to Taylee's betrayal,

you will need to hurry if you want your secret kept.

Join me in Blackwater for your final trial.

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

- You?

- Me.

(both groaning)

Ethan, hey!

(soft suspenseful music)

(Jane crying)

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Dad.

- Are you okay? What's going on?

- I think I'm ready to come home now.

- Are you sure? What happened?

- Nothing.

- Want me to come beat somebody up?

(Jane crying)

- Probably.

- Same place?

- Nightmare on 13th.

- Okay, I'll head over right now. I'll see you soon.

- Dad?

- Yeah?

- Why are people the worst?

- Sweetheart, you know, I don't really believe

people are inherently good or bad.

At least we shouldn't judge people

by their mistakes, you know?

We can talk about it when I come get you, okay?

Love you.

- Love you too.

(soft suspenseful music)

- What is this?

- What?

- What is this?

- You, you attacked me.

- I did not.

You ...

You're the one that drugged me!

- Wait, why, why aren't you in a straitjacket?

- This game is one of deceit.

One of you has been assisting me from the very beginning.

Hudson, it is up to you decide who is guilty,

since you seem to be the expert in that area.

(soft suspenseful music)

(floorboards creaking)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

Milo or Ethan?

Free the guilty and I will reveal both of your secrets.

Free the other, and I will only reveal theirs.

- Then our secrets get spilled anyway?

How is this a game if there's no way to win?

- There's only one winner in this game.

How does it feel, Hudson, to have two lives

in the palm of your hand?

Again.

- No.

No, I'm done.

I'm done with all this.

Because of you, I lost the only person I was pretending for.

(Hudson breathing hard)

You think I don't hate myself for what I did?

Your game's not proving anything.

Jane was the only, the only reason I kept trying.

Trying to change, trying to atone.

And you turned her against me!

- Don't put your sins on me!

- Don't act like you're better than us!

I condemn you.

I condemn you for the sin of wrath.

You forced us all to see the darkness when,

when we're all just looking for a little light.

- Refuse to choose and I will reveal both of their secrets.

(men grunting)

- I did it.

- Stop!

- I was the drunk driver who crippled my sister,

and I nearly killed the other driver.

I accept full responsibility for my actions.

- But this guy? - And I too have a secret.

- Shut it down, shut it down.

- I fixed games so I could stay on the soccer team

and keep my scholarship.

(soft suspenseful music)

What?

Aren't we all, like, confessing?

- You guys wanna ruin your futures, don't let me stop you.

- Enough! You think this will stop me?

You've only sped up my timeline.

- No, but this might.

Wrath killed someone in here.

If you're listening, please help us.

Wrath killed--

(power shutting down)

- You realize you just doomed us all, right?

And he's gonna release my secret outta spite.

- Not if we can get to the security footage.

Then we'll have some blackmail on him.

- Aren't you forgetting something?

We still have to find a way out of here.

(man groaning)

(soft suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Deceit.

This one's mine.

I'm gonna go try to find the security room.

- Hey, we can help you, Hudson.

- Not if one of you's working with Wrath.

- What are we supposed to do?

- Whatever you want.

I, I have something I have to take care of.

(door opening)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Needs a password.

Move.

(soft suspenseful music)

- You're not going anywhere.

The cops will be here any second.

- Think about what you're doing, Jane.

There is so much corruption in the world.

We can root it out.

- Face it, Blaire, it's over.

(sirens blaring in distance)

- No.

No!

- In about an hour, we should have the password cracked,

and we can access the surveillance files.

- So, Ethan was the traitor?

- Yeah, apparently.

- And you can do this with any hard drive?

(upbeat suspenseful music)

Ethan's not the accomplice.

It's you.

- What are you talking about?

- You, you're the only one who could

access all of our files.

You've been helping him since the, the beginning.

You're not breaking the password. What are you doing?

- It's a virus.

It should finish the job by midnight.

- Why are you doing this? Why are you helping him?

After everything he did to us?

After everything he did to Amy Lee?

- He caught me helping Amy Lee cheat on the SAT.

He's been using that to blackmail me.

After what he did Amy Lee,

I thought I could stand up to him but

I can't help her if I'm in prison.

- So what? You do what he says and you get the key?

- Yeah.

And Wrath keeps my illegal hacking a secret.

I can use the key as soon as I erase the footage.

- Milo.

If that program finishes, there will be no evidence

of Wrath killing Harper!

- Don't lecture me like you're better than I am!

I know what you did.

At least I was trying to help people.

- I can't let you do this.

(dramatic music)

(Hudson groaning)

- Is this your first fight, Hudson?

- It's not yours?

- Dude, I'm an activist.

My fights usually involve tear gas and riot shields.

- That's right.

(both groaning)

- Hudson.

(both groaning)

(dramatic music)

Hudson.

Stay down.

You're not gonna win.

- I wouldn't want to, even if I could.

(Hudson breathing hard)

You're not a bad guy, Milo.

Wrath has lost.

Don't go down with him.

(suspenseful music)

(siren blaring)

(door slamming)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Blaire, stop!

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

I have Harper's phone!

You're no angel, Blaire! You killed Harper!

(both shouting)

(soft suspenseful music)

(soft suspenseful music continues)

- That was an accident!

Harper wasn't supposed to be here!

She found the files.

The files she found

would have directly linked me to Wrath.

But, as soon as Milo erases the footage,

I'll be free to continue my work.

(soft suspenseful music)

- If this footage doesn't get erased,

he's gonna know it was me.

He'll tell everyone.

- So let him.

There will always be someone like,

like Wrath or Amy Lee to use you.

I may not be able to stop you,

but if you don't stand up for yourself

like you stand up for others,

you're never gonna be free of this endless cycle.

You don't wanna be a coward anymore?

This is what courage feels like.

(soft suspenseful music)

(Milo breathing hard)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

- You need to start believing you deserve it.

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

(music stops)

(footsteps running)

(Jane grunting)

- Jane? How did you get here before us?

- Shortcut.

- Blaire's Wrath? Blaire's alive?

(Blaire screaming)

- Let me go!

I'll tell everyone what you've done!

- You can't control me anymore.

I'm ready to own up with what I did.

- You'll go to jail for what you did!

- It's what good people do.

- Go to jail?

- No, no I meant like, like take responsibility for your ...

Just forget it. It's not important.

- Stay where you are!

- You ready?

- As I'll ever be.

(soft piano music)

(soft piano music continues)

- Amy.

You okay?

- Not really.

You?

- Not at all.

- Can we get some help over here?

- All right, is everything okay over here?

- You went back for her.

- Well I couldn't just leave her.

(soft piano music)

(soft piano music continues)

- Hey, you did good, kid.

- Thanks.

- Ever thought of being a detective?

- I don't know if I'd go that far, but maybe a journalist?

- I can see that.

(soft piano music)

- And that was the end of the Virtuous Student Society.

It's been one year since then, and in honor of the event

that started my career in journalism,

this week's Flashback Friday will feature

a where are they now?

The VSS was dissolved, and in its place

an organization was formed,

the Harper Auburn Foundation,

an organization that focuses less on lofty achievements

and fame, and more on the stuff that really matters.

McKenzie Valentine, no one respected her choice,

but it's not like she had done anything illegal.

It took a while to recover, but after speaking with her,

it sounds like the experience

provided her with a wakeup call.

She's since moved on and has found someone

who actually loves her for all of who she is.

She's hopeful it will be the start

of a long and happy relationship.

Both Ethan and Amy Lee were expelled

from Northwood for their dishonesty.

Since then, Ethan has been working at a mechanic shop

while he tries to put the pieces

of his future back together.

He keeps the key meant for him as a reminder

to do things the right way this time.

With her test scores invalidated,

Amy Lee had to start completely from scratch.

But she's been working hard over the past year

to study for and retake the SAT.

We'll see if all her hard work pays off,

but I have a feeling it will.

I was unable to track down Winter

after the loss of his fan base,

but I like to think he's getting himself clean,

for real this time.

In exchange for a reduced sentence,

Milo agreed to help the government

catch other hackers like him

and now runs a blog about the unconstitutional nature

of America's prison system.

Meanwhile, Taylee is allowed to work

at the Northwood soup kitchen every week.

When she's released from prison, she told me her goal

will be to repay ever cent she stole

from the Giving Tree Charity.

Thanks to the security footage,

Blaire was convicted for Harper's murder

and was incarcerated at the local prison.

Hopefully, that's the last we'll see of her for a long time.

Today marks the end of at least one of their sentences,

and I for one can't wait to see him.

(upbeat pounding music)

- Woo, yeah!

(group cheering)

- Oh.

- Hudson. - There he is!

♪ I wanna let you know that I'm here ♪

(upbeat rock music)

- Welcome back, Hudson.

♪ I can't seem to find my way ♪

- So, when does school start again?

- Next week, but it's basically like Jane never left.

- The Northwood Inquisitor needed someone

competent to run it this time.

- Uh, how's the leg?

- The doctor says soon it will be back to normal.

- Whoa.

Jane, I'm really, I'm really proud of you.

- And we're so proud of you.

Out early for good behavior.

- And conditional on my community service hours,

which is basically my life now.

(both laughing)

- Let's go get some food.

- Yeah, uh, could we have a sec?

- Yeah.

(birds singing)

- Uh, I don't think I can ever apologize enough

for what I did.

- You don't have to.

We've spent enough time dwelling on our mistakes.

Maybe let's just try and move forward.
